Places the IGP/PGL in the Create Form mode, where forms and form

elements can be defined using the appropriate commands.

Mode

NORMAL

Format

(cc)CREATE; [/]formname [;FL] [;DISK]

(cc)

The Special Function Control Character.

CREATE

The Create Form mode command; enter CREATE.

/

The optional debug character to check the program line

by line for incorrect parameters and print boundaries

using the current page size; enter the slash symbol (/)

to debug the program. No checks are made until the

completed program is sent to the IGP/PGL for storage

(when the form is executed by printing the file with the

IGP/PGL program). Then the form name is entered

into the directory, and the program is evaluated. If

errors are detected, the program will print, line by line

(including the error on the line where the error occurs),

followed by the error–free sections of the form.

Correct all errors and delete the slash. Refer to

“Solving Program Errors” on page 6–49.

formname

Defines the form name of the form being created. The

form name should be no more than 12 characters in

length. Refer to page 4–5 for a list of allowable form

name characters. If a form is created with the same

name as a form already existing in memory, the newly

created form will replace the existing form. All future

reference to the form (editing, executing, or deleting

the form from the directory) must be made using the

assigned name.
